samba - Feb 2003 - Apple shares?

Hi,

I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple
PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about
Apple.
FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone
have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? 

I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms
of support I would prefer to use what is in place rather than configure and
support another product.

All comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

it totally depends on what mac os you run

mac osx is fairly easy as you can browse and share samba mounts.

If using MacOS X, you can connect to a Samba share via:
   in the 'Finder', use Command-K ('Go' menu)
   in the dialog box which should come up, use:
	 smb://servername/
   and click 'Connect'

If using earlier versions of MacOS (7.x-9.x), you would need some
other product, either on the Mac or on the server.

For the Mac, there is a product call 'Dave' from Thursby Software
Systems

Or, on the server you can use 'Netatalk' -- just like samba, but for 
sharing Appletalk volumes. See <http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/>
You can download the current version 1.6.0 at 
<
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8642&release_id=125246

I use both on my Linux server at home...
Biggest difference for me:
 -Max OS X + Samba support long (32+ char) file names
  MacOS 9 and Netatalk do not.
